Answer: i gave you another example i just had to help you
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 8²+ 10²=x²
B) x + 8 = 10
C) x²+8²=10
D) x²+ 10²=8²
EXPLANATION:
A)
Incorrect. In this triangle, you know the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) has a length of 10. The lengths of the legs are 8 and x. The correct answer is .
B) x + 8 = 10
Incorrect. The Pythagorean Theorem is a relationship between the lengths of the sides squared. The correct answer is .
C)
Correct. In this triangle, the hypotenuse has length 10, and the legs have length 8 and x. Substituting into the Pythagorean Theorem you have: ; this equation is the same as , or . What number, times itself, equals 36? That would make x = 6.
D)
Incorrect. In this triangle, the hypotenuse has length 10 (always the longest side of the triangle and the side opposite the right angle) not 8. The correct answer is
